The famous city of Salzburg, close to the German border, is one of the best-preserved city centres in Europe. Its winding cobbled streets are a treasure trove of medieval and baroque buildings, palaces, concert halls and monasteries – all set against the picturesque backdrop of the magnificent snow-capped Alps. Visit the house where Mozart was born and enjoy a jam-packed programme of opera, concerts and ballet in breathtaking historic halls and venues.

The internationally renowned Salzburg Festival, held every summer, is the ultimate way to enjoy this scene. Fans of The Sound of Music can walk in the footsteps of the characters amidst breathtaking scenery and views. Be sure to stroll along the beautiful Salzach River, climb to the top of the spectacular Fortress Hohensalzburg and sample the famous, delicious beer brewed at the Augustiner Braustubl, a monastery brewery in operation since 1621.
